Transition from pregnancy to labour
Recommended for pregnant women around 35 weeks intending on a vaginal birth. Your birthing partner is also encouraged to come.
Our Active Birth classes are designed to build your confidence ahead of your due date. We want you to be as prepared as possible to help ensure a positive birthing experience.
Each class is presented by our midwife and physiotherapist, who will provide valuable information so you know what to expect when it comes time for labour and the birthing process.
You can expect to cover topics such as:
- What causes labour pain
- Birthing partner’s role
- Optimal foetal positioning
- Massage and breathing techniques
- Combining movement in labour
- Using water in labour
- Use of fitballs
- Ways to create a calming birth environment.
